Help with putting in units

[Warluster]

Hi all,

Recently I've been following Mushai's tutorial on adding units to a game.

I am trying to add a Dragoon and COlonial Musketeers.

Anyway, I do what the tutorial says, go to my campaign, start it.

No where. THe game is the same as it was before! No Dragoon, no Colonial Musetkeer!

It doesn't even crash. I've modded all apporpiate files (export_descr_unit, model.db, ui files,etc)

Please help!

So you, like, edited export_descr_buildings so that you can actually recruit them, right?

I too have a similar problem.

I've tried to move Byzantine cavalry over to being a militia unit in towns, editing my EDB so that they should be recruitable in any town with stone walls or better. The game doesn't crash, nor does it allow me to recruit them in any fashion except in castles still.

I've noticed that modding the EDU file for unit stats also does nothing to the units in game. I've tried modding unit size and their weapon and armor stats but it does nothing to the game.

Why don't these files work?

Whoops, figured out why. Didn't return after first line...

Well, you wrote you went to the campaign :laugh4:
Anyways, make sure you specified an ownership line. If there's an era line, you need to supply ownership there, too.

and use the io file first thing ask alpaca i think he knows.
